In The City's traditional curtain-closer will take place on Monday 27th October at Camden Barfly, in the form of the Best Of ITC 2008 show, hosted and broadcast by Xfm's John Kennedy.

Choosing the best four bands from the best ITC live lineup ever wasn't an easy task but we're delighted to announce...

DETROIT SOCIAL CLUB
DSC’s In The City saw them playing two shows in two hours including the NME night at South where, hoarse but still carrying boundless energy, they gave an incredible performance to a packed and excited crowd. Kneading New York’s vibrant 1970s punk scene with the Detroit garage stage of the mid 1990s, you can’t fail to be blown away by the dirty overdriven guitar riffs, heavy bass, booming drums and fantastically raw and powerful vocals. Their debut single ‘Rivers And Rainbows’ is released on the day of the gig.

BADDIES
An overwhelming favourite from this year's ITC Unsigned, Baddies’ two ITC shows caused ripples of excitement through industry and fans alike, with both gigs turning out to be an A&R fest. Monday 27th also marks the release of their single 'Battleships' and will act as their official single launch party. Described by the NME as "raucous rock righteousness from Southend. Sounds like Future Of The Left torturing Howlin Pelle Almqvist" and The Times as "like the Beastie Boys have challenged the Pixies to a sing off while Klaxons woo woo the fight along from the sidelines. And they're all loving it".

THE JESSIE ROSE TRIP
Seemingly the name on everyone's lips in the run up to ITC, Jessie Rose and her band didn't disappoint - playing to packed houses at Ruby Lounge and Chicago Rocks - including a certain Mr Jarvis Cocker watching from the wings. Her soulful bouncy pop has been winning over many hearts in Manchester for the past six months and we’re sure she’ll win over the rest of the world before too long.

TO THE BONES
Bolton's To The Bones were a late in the day addition to the ITC Unsigned list at our Manchester A&R panel in August and getting those extra coffees in now seems all the more sensible - they've since recieved great airplay on Xfm and BBC – with Steve Lamacq making Duke Type A his album of the week - and played storming shows at both the Rock Sound night and at their official ITC show. Likened to Queens Of The Stone Age amongst others, their incendiary live shows have to be seen to be believed.
